The tab Tiles is for creating new tiles and editing or deleting existing ones.

Here you can set the display of a tile, enable a tile, set permissions for a tile, and assign a tile to a tile group.

Tiles can be displayed either on the dashboard (dashboard tile) or within the configuration area (configuration tile).
